- Pranks and karaoke

Summary
Murdoc Niccals is struggling to find his place back in the band after his recent escape from jail. As though that wasn't troubling enough, one night, after a concert, he comes face-to-face with someone eerily familiar. A face he swore to forget, along with all the atrocities that came with that past time of his life. Faced with newfound uncertainties, he feels the urge to reach out. To reconcile with his estranged, robotic clone of a daughter.
Unfortunately, life has other plans for him. What begins as an awkward yet necessary reunion soon spirals into something no one could have anticipated. Something paranormal. -

Summary
2D knew Russel hadn't been in the best of moods lately. He'd lost Del. He'd lost his closest friend. It was only natural that he fell into a depressive episode. Who wouldn't? And 2D knew about it. But perhaps he hadn't realized the severity of Russel's struggles… That was until one day at Kong Studios, 2D had to ask Russel for a favor, who spent his days alone in the comforts of his own room. Seeing him in such a state broke 2D’s heart. Naturally, next thing he did was try to cheer Russel up. Perhaps he could show Russel that he doesn't have to feel so alone!
And maybe Russel will learn that, although he lost someone dear, there are still people who care deeply about him.
OR
Russel is sad. 2D makes a song for him.
Also, Murdoc has a small part in this, because I love to explore the band’s dynamic in their day-to-day lives.
